The African Union (AU) should make increasing use of information and communication technology (ICT) in conflict management on the continent, AU deputy chairperson Patrick Mazimhaka urged on Wednesday.

Speaking at a knowledge-management conference under way in Nairobi, Kenya, he said that there were advanced technologies that could be employed, not only to assist with predicting and dealing with conflict escalations, but also to improve efficiency and accountability on the continent.

ICT had also been effective in reducing unrest during elections, Mazimhaka said.
